In 1957, in the poverty-stricken town of Monterrey, Mexico, a barefooted, rag-tag group of boys discovers the joys of sandlot baseball under the guidance of Cesar, a failed U.S. minor league ballplayer. Dreaming of playing a real Little League game, the young team members defy disapproving parents, bigotry, and an utter lack of resources to score their first Little League victory on U.S. soil only to find themselves at the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Relying on their religious faith and their love of the game, the nine players and their coach embark on an incredible, record-breaking winning streak that leads them from southern Texas all the way to the 1957 Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA, where a miracle will cement their place in history and change their lives forever.
